| Go Back to Your Boss and Quit This Internet Marketing fantasy. If you can not imagine and truly know what your life will look like after succeeding in the Internet marketing world. I truly believe you need to stop lying to yourself and go back to your boss. But ........ Turning Imagination into belief If you could just stop and imagine a time in your life maybe tomorrow or maybe in the 10 years from now. When you have everything it is that you ever desired, and just then as you look back on your life, of things that you've done all the sacrifices you've made all the hard decisions you have to make. You now know, the effort behind all of that was worth it. Now you have what it is you desire. You have the fulfillment in your heart. We All Have the Potential to Succeed My friend each and every one of us can have this is experience. When you have faith in yourself facing a potential to succeed faith that no matter what you can obtain that which you desire. We all have the capability to succeed. that which each of us want might be different, but the core of that is all the same. Worthy Sacrifice If you can imagine the things that you're to have to sacrifice, your time ,your comfort. And so on. With the outcome of all this be worth it. As you step into this world of Internet marketing. You will not become a success overnight, and if you do get a hold of me I'd like to talk to you maybe get some tips. One Thing We Have in Common We are all on different paths in life, but the thing that we have in common is the goal. So, I wish you luck in your journey, for I know, if you truly desire something. I know, you can obtain it. You must ask yourself are the things you need to sacrifice worth the outcome. Allowing Your Fantasies Come True what is it that you desire out of Internet marketing? Where do you see yourself in three years? What sacrifices are you willing to give in are the to succeed? Feel free to posts on this forum the answers to these questions, and as you begin to type speak it out loud yourself. This will allow your mind to embed these beliefs. |

Make no mistake, Internet Marketing IS a job! Only difference is that you are a contract worker for affiliate companies or a supplier for customers. Either way you need to log in and get to work every day. Its just a job with an unlimited salary cap and ideal working conditions.

No, i dont think so. It all depends on what your comparing it to. What are you comparing IM to? I have worked across my country on farms, on building sites, in bars, in clubs, in kitchens, i have worked in factories, done night shifts, 24 hour shifts, carted wheel barrows full of cement, hauled plaster sheets up stairs, moved furniture, i have even plowed snow in europe! I could go on and on. So for me comparing sitting on my ass, drinking coffee, getting up at like 10am walking my dog, then sitting on my ass again drinking coffee again is not a job. Its a lifestyle. However i can see how some would see it as a job. BUt i like to see it as a home business lifestyle. | |

Of course there is work involved but with a job you don't get paid if you stop working. With IM you can set up sites and get them running largely on autopilot. If you feel like taking a day off and not working there's no one to tell you no. If you have a "job duty" you truly don't want to do you can outsource it. I've never had a job in my life where I could get someone else to do the part I didn't like for a couple of bucks while either going home early or working on something that I did enjoy and making even more money. There most definitely IS work involved but it certainly IS NOT a job. ![]() That's my 2 cents anyway. | |

Agreed that IM is a job. It takes lots of effort, education, and persistence. Yes you can have sites that make money on auto-pilot, while you sleep, etc. yes you can make a butt-load of money but it takes work to get there. The sites and sales copy that make it sound easy are for those who just want the dream. I bought my eBook ... I'm not going to read it ... I'm not going to act on it ... when is someone going to start dropping off those bags of money at my front door? Do I have it better than the guy across the street that gets up every day at 5am and goes to some job? You bet. But maybe he comes home every day and sits his ass on a couch and watches the idiot box. Maybe he's at a bar at 8:43pm EST on a Friday night. How much are you willing to put in to your business? I love working and wouldn't have it any other way. F the idiot box.

I believe it's all perspective .... The beauty of internet marketing is that it can create Freedom in your life. You can automate it so you will have the time to do what you love ... isn't that's why people get a job anyway? |

my father's father told him to not do as he did and do something smarter and and not have a traditional job. His father lacked the proper knowledge to direct my father in the right direction. So my father stumbled around trying to find something and until this day, he still trying to find something, but he knew enough to raise me with the correct belief that I could have whatever it is that I desired in life that I would have to do things differently than the masses and no matter whatand no matter what never gets stuck in a 9-to-5 job, for it is false security that provides. So cheers to the family legacy and progression of entrepreneurship.! :-) | |

Their job might not be guaranteed but (in general) for every hour you do work you get the agreed-upon per-hour rate. Not so when you're learning the IM ropes. It's frustrating to spend hours and hours learning and not having any income to show for it, or more likely, be in the red. But you have to consider the risk/reward. You don't get that guaranteed hourly wage, but you do have a chance of earning while you sleep, becoming your own boss, etc. |

My whole life is a fantasy - it's great! ![]() Answers to your questions: 1) Work from home; independent income; income that NEVER retires, even if I choose to retire. 2) Still doing what I love doing: working from home, writing, promoting and marketing online. 3) I don't have (and don't need) all the "toys and trips" that a lot of people can't seem to live without. I have my computer, my writing ability and my desire for marketing. I can do without a lot of other stuff that people just love to go deeply into debt to possess. GT | |

| That is true. It was easier to sit on my butt in my corporate America job and collect a paycheck with full benefits, paid vacation, sick days, etc. But I hated every minute of it. The meetings. the boss, the same thing day-in, day-out. So although IM is work it doesn't feel like it because I like what I do now vs. before and I have more control of my life.

You can do internet marketing part time. There is a considerable risk involved here due to recession and Ebay ban on digital products. It must be your secondary job if yo are a newbie. |

I disagree with those who are calling their IM a job. It's a business and needs to be treated like that. As far as businesses go, this is the best I've ever had. No stressful overhead. No employees. No concrete business hours (It's 3:30 and I just got back from hanging out downtown and shopping for gourmet foods - could never do that when I had a brick'n'mortar). As for a job? In a company? With a boss? Answering to somebody? Not in this lifetime! |

Jobs are what we had in the 20th century. In the 21st century some of us still have jobs, while others have self-guided careers. We are self-employed entrepreneurs, we set our own hours and work on things that interest and inspire us. Often we work longer and harder than our friends with traditional jobs, but it usually doesn't feel like work. When we achieve our carefully planned goals it's a feeling of accomplishment that no job could ever match. Internet Marketing is a self-guided career. And we are Entrepreneurs. Bill |

Whatever jobs you are in, if you are happy with it then stay! For me the most important thing in a job is that you enjoy it and having fun with it. And in our world right now there is no need to judge whether what kind of job you have but the most important thing is that you bring food to the table! Quote:

WHAT? Stop internet marketing and get a real job? NAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.... Let me explain (and embarrass myself). I am 18 years old. I left school here in the UK when I was 16. I have worked a total of 4 days in a "real job" in my life! I hate it! I used to sell abit of weed for money, but then I had my Son and grew up and away from things which could get me imprisoned. Then I found IM. I was already Internet Savvy because of my love for IT and Design but never thought of IM before. On my 2nd attempt at making a product and launch etc. I made myself £200 ($250-$300??) in 24 hours. Most people I know who have "real jobs" earn £200-£400 a WEEK. You see I'm a business man, I know too much now to turn back. Working has never been my thing... Selling on the other hand, and creation, that's what I was born to do! Not to mention that I have the biggest pull to becoming a millionairre... and that's not going to happen working a 9-5. So IM it is for life. You can't beat it. Holidays when you like... you can (kind of) decide how much money your going to make next week... it's ideal. Just my 2 cents. T.Genius |

If you believe it is a job, then it is. With this mindset, you will treat it as a job, ie you will be working IN it, doing everything yourself, etc. But if you believe it is not a job but a business, well, then your mindset will change and you will work ON it, ie, outsource, leverage and grow it exponentially, like a real business. I choose to believe it is not a job but a great business |

IM can be anything you want it to be "for you!" ... and so can a job to a certain extent. Slack when you're employed by someone and you will get fired; slack when you're working for yourself and you will make zilch! It really is that simple.

Kay Kingdo you mean at first, it's hard work, but eventually it will become like riding a bicycle? Back when I was a kid. I ran across this magazine of this guy doing some outrageous trick in this bicycle. And I knew that I wanted to be a Pro BMX rider in just do these outrageous stunts that would make other people confused on how I did it like that man on the cover of the magazine made me feel as I continued on through my life chasing the stream was literally getting scars and breaking bones. That was only early on, because I became more skilled at riding my bike and doing new tricks. I began to break less bones, and I became skilled at the art of falling three stories and rolling out of it without a scratch. Now did it take a lot of work to get to that point. Yes, but when I did achieve that skill level no matter what it was I accomplished my bicycle to seem second nature to me. And I was able to achieve my dream and astonish people with new tricks. Like a 360 backflip tail whip or a double backflip tricks that may be only one other person in the world could do. The moral of the story is with enough focus and passion in the end when you get your glory, and everything is running smooth and easily. You will not count up. How many scratches you gotten all you will no is how hard once were when you first started out yet how smoothly and naturally, things come to you now. | |

It's a job if you do stuff like: freelancing, graphic design, programming. You have to be physically present to make money. Basically, you are self-employed. You have just created a job for yourself. Don't work, and you don't make money. You have a business when you have technology/employees working for you tirelessly. Allen |

Call it what you want, if you want money out of internet marketing your going to have to set up systems that will make you money. This thread is making a fuss out of nothing. You have to work for your money even if you outsource it. |
